What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

That second cake looks like an alien is about to burst forth from it.. shrieks and gets the flame gun lol. I can't even imagine that first one is a cake. I suspect they put frosting on a laptop computer and ran away laughing.. it looks like poo with an apple on it.

All things considered, I'm surprised "Geaux" is spelled correctly (it is)! You half expect it to say "Tirges" or something like that.

To answer Jo's question, "meanwhile, when did Apple make poo brown computers with itty bitty keyboards?" They haven't yet. That cake is based on a prototype that an Apple employee left in a bar. It will be on the market in about 4 months and look EXACTLY like that! I'm already camped out at the Apple Store!

The WoW cake looks like it came from Dairy Queen. In my family, that's the only kind of cake we get for birthdays. Anyone who's ordered a cake from DQ knows that, if it isn't one of the designs from their catalog, you're probably going to get the photo image - custom cake design is not their forte'...

I bet the WOW cake was a $28 grocery store deal because a cake with that much detail, would be over $100+ at a "good" bakery. I paid $45 for my daughter's 1st birthday cake, 20 years ago! It was adorable, and delicious, but expensive!! Sometimes you get what you pay for and if they paid for the $100 cake and got that, they deserve a refund!
